India’s aviation regulator DGCA uncovered several recurring safety issues during a post-crash surveillance at major airports, following the fatal Air India crash in Ahmedabad on June 12. Inspections at Delhi, Mumbai, and other airports revealed ineffective rectification of recurring aircraft defects, worn tyres, faded runway markings, outdated simulator software, and mismatched configurations. Conducted during night and early morning hours, the review also covered airworthiness, flight operations, ramp safety, navigation, ATC, and pilot medical checks. DGCA has directed concerned airlines and entities to take corrective measures within 7 days to improve safety across India's aviation ecosystem and prevent future mishaps. (PC: Reuters)
